Document Summary

Use of stored energy to do work in the body. Anabolic > synthesis/storage of chemical fuels, requires energy, occurs in all body cells that divide to form new ones, maintains intracellular structure, produces molecules (hormones, neurotransmitters) for export. Catabolic > breakdown of fuel with release of energy, begins in digestion, concludes in individual cells, energy is used to drive anabolic reactions, active transport, muscle contractions. Glycogen > multiple glucose stuck together by chemical bonds. Plants produce glucose by sunlight energy (in vegetables). Fructose + galactose > isomers of glucose, fructose is in fruits, berries, corn syrup. Sucrose > dissacharide, glucose+fructose combined, in sugarcane, maple sugar, etc. Maltose > derived from germinating cereals (2 glucose and lactose) consists of glucose and galactose. Starch (energy storage molecules found in plants), glycogen (energy storage molecule in animals, muscle and liver). Processed meats have little to no glycogen left because it is used by dying muscle cells.
